Company offsites & group travel sales executive

Company Offsites & Group Travel Sales Executive 🌍 | Big Blue Adventures


At Big Blue Adventures, we design high-impact company offsites, retreats and group adventures across Europe — bringing teams together through our love for nature, outdoor adventure, and shared experiences.

We’re looking for a Company Offsites & Group Travel Sales Executive (with travel hosting duties) who can combine sharp sales & customer service skills with a genuine love for travel and adventure. This isn’t a desk-only role — it’s about building relationships, creating unforgettable experiences for clients, and getting stuck in with the activities while delivering the events.


What you’ll be doing

* Selling company offsites and bespoke group trips
* Driving new business: building rapport, listening to client needs, problem-solving, and closing deals (mostly via warm inbound leads and video meetings).
* Proactively reaching out to our networks and prospects to generate new business opportunities.
* Creating tailor-made sales proposals online.
* Managing your own sales administration: keeping leads, proposals, and client information up to date in our CRM.
* Destination product management: researching and developing new opportunities to enhance our offerings.
* Working towards annual sales targets (reviewed quarterly with the founder).
* Networking & lead generation: attending events, building relationships, and using tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
* Staying hands-on: hosting trips, being on-site with clients, and ensuring the whole journey runs smoothly (even if it wasn’t your sale).
* Supporting post-sale account management: keeping clients connected while the planning team takes over.
* Bringing new ideas to the table: from sales strategies to fresh tools, systems, and processes.


What we’re looking for

* Proven sales experience, ideally in travel or events (B2B sales in an international capacity is a big plus).
* Out-and-out seller: strong at building trust, listening, and closing.
* Target-driven but also a team player - humble and collaborative in a small, mighty team.
* Passionate about adventure, watersports, nature and human connection.
* Organised with excellent admin and planning skills.
* Positive can-do attitude, calm under pressure, and always pushing to achieve high standards
* Experience using Slack, project management software such as Monday, CRM softwares, G-suite and sales proposal software
* Excited to travel regularly (sometimes weeks at a time, always with notice).
* Native/fluent English, with Portuguese, Spanish or Croatian a bonus.
* Based in South Wales / South West Bristol area and open to some in person work in the Cardiff area + travel for work (also open to applicants based in the Lisbon region, Portugal)


This role is perfect for someone who:

* Loves winning new business but also wants to see projects through to delivery
* Is equally comfortable pitching to senior decision-makers and hosting a surf day out
* Wants real ownership and impact inside a growing company
* Has 5★ customer service in their DNA — going the extra mile feels natural
* Brings ideas, energy and healthy challenge to the table — we value people who think differently and push standards higher
* Thrives in a small team where accountability is high and everyone pulls their weight


What we offer

* £28,000–£32,000 salary (DOE) + annual team bonus
* Remote role, with in-person collaboration and hybrid working set to form an important part of our culture as we grow
* Laptop & phone (or allowance)
* Private medical insurance & travel insurance
* Generous holiday allowance + TOIL for event hours
* Monday to Friday when not hosting trips or offsites
* Low season = more planning and sales focus. High season = more time on location hosting
* Supportive founders who encourage surf breaks, travel and ongoing training
* Team socials & activities (we practice what we preach).
* A genuine opportunity to make impact in a growing company that values energy, growth and positive contribution to the destinations we work in.
